Water and Future Exciting Adventure," designed for elementary school students to learn about the importance of water through fun, hands-on experiences.

Background of "Save Our Earth! Water and Future Exciting Adventure" Implementation In recent years, with growing concern over environmental issues such as climate change and water scarcity, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's new Course of Study emphasizes the cultivation of "creators of a sustainable society," making environmental education for children increasingly important.

Against this backdrop, this program, themed "Global Perspective" x "Power of Science," aims to teach the importance of water, which is deeply connected to our lives, through enjoyable quizzes and experiments.

We aim to provide an opportunity for children to think together about how they can conserve water in their daily lives, leading to behavioral changes. Furthermore, to provide a glimpse into the technologies that support water, experiments on the mechanisms of water treatment will be conducted, allowing participants to experience the fascination of science and the joy of discovery.
